alternatives to bipods

[gazguildford 0]

just wondering what you guys would use seen as bipods on springers aint to good for the gun and ur groupings?

i use a padded fishing rod rest when zeroing or a padded wheel barrow

what would you guys use? obviously a wheel isnt to small to take around and ive yet to find a collapsable rod rest.

I just use a gun dog dummy on a post/grass clump/whatever and it "settles" the rifle in all conditions

I too use a fishing rod rest, I rest my left wrist in the 'Y' bit and use my gun in the normal way.

Usefull as a walking/thumb stick too.

Hi.

The thing about springers is their HATE of being supported by a solid object like a rest or even a bipod.

Bean bags are ok and my dog's pillow works a treat BUT in the field, how many people have something stable to balance their particular "recoil proof" cushion on.

I have tried bipods, monopods, fishing rod stands, and a wide range of stuffed toys but the best one I've found was when I was showed how to hold a rifle as the FT shooters do.

As luck would have it, on UTUBE there is a quick tutorial which might help you and costs nought.

the link is www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sa7ODrtWMY or was earlier today.

 

Hope this helps.

a fishing stool is great for springers small enough to carry around and can be used as a hide seat it was in one of the airgun mags a while back but i have been using one for ages
